They would still have worn full armor in case they didn't run away - Ned, even a young, snot-nosed, wet-behind-the-ears punk twenty-something Ned wouldn't take that chance. I suspect those warhorses would be used to the weight of armor which wasn't really all that heavy to something that weighs 2000 lbs.

It's been a while since I've read the books but weren't they all supposed to be on horseback, in armor? And wasn't Robert there?

This sounds like the desperate prayer of a very constipated man.

I hope not, that would suck ass.

If I had to choose probably the zombies, but I can see why he included the crazier stuff - more crowd-pleasin'.

If you're going to be a shrew, be the best shrew you can be.

I can't believe that. I didn't give a rat's hairy little ass about any of the other deaths, but this one? Man!

That's what I thought. Although it obviously has to be choreographed it shouldn't be so obviously choreographed.

Stupidest, I think you mean to say. That fight was part of why I can't ever really take this show seriously. I didn't watch very many episodes prior to this season, but now that they've got beyond the books I thought I'd take a chance. At least they didn't do any slo-mo.

Excellent swordfighting scene beforehand, though.

The fight with the young Ned Stark and Sword of the Morning, et al, was pretty heavy on the ol' fromage. Helmet or no helmet? When going into a combat situation that's a hard call to make, Ned. And the two swords? C'mon, man. That was embarrassing.

Also, Tristane went out like a dumbass.

Olly sure did grow a lot within the span of a few minutes. He could definitely give Carl from The Walking Dead a run for his money.
